Some keys to the real estate business.....Actions speak louder than words!

Some great advice here. Thanks for the words of wisdom!

You are right on that one Joe. Those are words we can all live by in our daily lives as well as in our REI career. We could all make this a better world a little bit at a time if we only take the time to do so. Thanks a bunch Joe. As always, you hit the head on the nail. God bless.

Fear Not,

this is such a great site. we can all learn from eachother. when i had my tool business in colo. i always tried to 'underpromis' and 'over deliver'. this made me stand out with my customers and made the other tool dealers wonder.

Thanks Joe
One little example: I've made a practice/habit of tipping workers/contractors/yardboys, etc. I always love the expressions on their faces when they show up, do a job expecting their fee and get handed an extra $10,$20,$100, etc. more than they expected. I usually give it cash(feels so good in your hand you know!)accompanied with somelike like, "hey man, thanks for the work and I'd like to buy you a beer. . . or a cup of coffee.....or a little gasoline".
Way more often than not, the person is surprized and clearly not expecting the little extra consideration.
It's professional,courteous and shows generosity; all aspects of the light in which I want to be seen as a full-time, serious real estate investor.
thanks.

OUt lookin' crosstown' for another good deal.

I always get good info on all of your post joe thanks.One thing I always do is who ever I talk to in person/phone or just whatever,I always be as kind as possible to them.When I show respect to them that just brightens there day cause most of the time the person on the other side deals whit rude folks.Like you said joe is a ripple effect and the conversation is just much better and you can get done what you need.Thanks again joe and best of luck.

Thanks for the additional comments and insight. That is a great comment to underpromise and over deliver, that is always a way to exceed your customer's expectations. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with real estate investing and finding that next deal. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Thanks for sharing the comments and another great tip for all of us to use. So often then not if we establish good relationship with contractors this will benefit us many times over. How often do you see people working hard on a hot day and no one even offers them a cold drink. The little extras that you do for people are often appreciated and I believe you have a great point here. Whether it is a cold drink, a lunch or a few dollars for gas, that can make a huge difference with workers and they will not forget it. Thanks again for sharing the insight. Continued success in all you do. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Thanks for another great tip. It is true that when you talk to people on the phone make sure they can imagine the smile as you talk to them. Often, if you are pleasant it will go along way and get you the contact person or the information you need. If you can use the person's name and thank them at the end, it also can make them feel good about assisting you. Thanks again for the insight and I believe this is another great point to put into practice. Continued success on all your deals. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

You are so right. It's important to me to live by the Golden Rule. Thoughtfulness, honesty and kindness are some key aspects to living a good life.
